Near months were lower in response to easy cables, continued good weather in the south and renewed hedge selling, while the trade ■eemed to be buying the later deliveries because of their relative cheapness. First prices were 35 points lower to 11 points higher, and w’liile near months rallied after the call, some of the latter deliveries eased off, with May selling down to 19.95 c, or » points net lower, and into new low ground for the season. After selling at 20.04 con the call, December rallied to 20.85 c, but did not fully hold the advance, and fluctuations were irregular. Early advices reported that the holding movement in the southwest-was spreading and that marketing was being re tarded in some sections by night riding activity. The midmorning rallies carried prices 4 about 20 to 40 points above last night’s x, closing figures with December selling at ~ 21.30 con covering and trade buying. As soon as the more - urgent demand from shorts had been supplied* however, prices turned easier owing to the continued circu lation of notices and lack of sufficient de mand to absorb further hedge selling by the south. December broke to 20.97 c with active months generally easing back to about Saturday’s closing figures. The Oc tober notices were estimated at 18.00 c bales. The early afternoon break extended to 21.75 for October, or 65 points net lower, and later months sold about 20 to 37 points below Saturday’s closing figures with most of them making new low ground for the movement on talk of an easier spot basis in the western belt. Maifc sold at 19.90, but prices rallied 20 or sO points around 2 o'clock on renewed covering.

At the end of the first hour of business the trading months were 3 to 6 points over the close of laat week, December rising to 20.31 c. The advance persisted until it amounted to 15 to 23 points, December standing at 20.48 c. Reports from the interior of a con tinued lack of demand for spots and further talk of little new business being done in finished goods caused the market to weaken again late in the morning, and prices were 13 to 17 points under the close of Inst week.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 11.—Short cover , Ing over tomorrow’s holiday furnished the cotton market with about its only support today and when shorts satisfied their de mand the market sagged under continued pessimistic feeling regarding the general financial situation, the lack of spot de -1 mand and the absencse of any new business in finished goods. Developments in the spot department are likely to decide the course of prices after the holiday.

Cotton Goods Prices Show Further Decline NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—Readjustment of cotton prices on lower levels is still go ing on and trade is very light and of an uncertain character. Very few contracts are being entered and much confusion still exists consequent upon cancellations, requests for rebates, and the returning of goods purchased. One large house has revised the price on denims to a basis of 32%c and other heavy colored cottons are being reduced from 30 to 35 per cent from , the top prices of the year. Prints and percales, bleached muslins, and some otiier goods are yet to be revised to bring values on a parity with gray goods and cotton yarn markets. Print cloths have sold at the lowest levels quoted in more than a year, while further declines are noted on some sheet ings for bag purposes and converting. Cotton flannels have been re-priced on a basis of 33% per cent down in some In stances. An auction sale of cotton blan kets brought prices ranging around 55 cents a pound. Cotton ynrn markets are still dull with prices weak and on a level below the cost of replacement in many cases. Substantial price reductions have been made in prices on underwear and hosiery, yet thus far buyers have not taken ho'd. Curtailment of production in mill centers has increased steadily this month due to a lack of orders and the inability of mills to show any profit at many of the current rates. Cotton markets are still unsettled and that adds somewhat to the uncertainties of the trade. Prices quoted are: Print cloths, 28-inch 64x64, 9% cents; 64x60’8, 9% cents; 38%- inch 64x64'5, 12 cents; brown sheetings, southern standards, 19c; denims, 2.20’s indigo, 32%c.; tickings, 8-oz., 40 cents; prints 23 cents nominal; staple ging hams, 20c.; dress ginghams, 25c and 27% cents. belief that if prices should be temporarily lower they will be sure to recover later, ami the loss will not be a permanent one. S. M. Weld & Co.: We continue to expect lower prices, hut think that great caution should be used In making short sales, and that it is only advisable to do so on strong markets. ‘MIXED BABY’ WEARS SHORT DRESSES AND SHOWS DIMPLED KNEES (Continued from Page 1) self-assurance of a lady giving a conductor a transfer an hour old. Outside of these points, Louise Madeline is an ordinary child, with chubby pink cheeks, dark brown eyes and dark hair hidden under a white bonnet, threaded with cherry ribbon. She laughs, cries, coos and, it must be confessed, occasionally slobbers; and she appears utterly unconcerned over the question of which she is the storm center: “Who’s little sugar are you?” These impressions of Louise Mad eline are the result of two days’ ob servation in Judge George L. Bell's courtroom, where the legal battle was resumed Monday to decide Louise Madeline’s parentage. Let us T' ■ wr the case briefly— Two babies were born at Grady hospital May 22, 1919. One was Mrs. John C. Garner’s, the other Mrs. Daniel L. Pittman’s. Twelve hours after birth, the babies were brought to their mot lers to nurse at inter vals of three hours. The stork came on a Friday. ’Saturday morning, about two o'clock, claims Mrs. Garner, they brought her the wrong child. She complained, and was told matters would be straightened out, Sunday morning, she says, her own baby was brought to her, but immediately was taken away with the statement that ,it was Mrs. Pittman’s child. She die’ ns she continued to protest daily that she had the wrong baby, but finally was forced to take it from the hr pital with her, ‘because nobody else would mother it.” Mrs Pittman d her child, declared Mrs. Garner. The baby Mrs. Garner took home was called Mary Elizabeth. The baby Mrs. Pittman took home was called Louise. Madeline. Mary Eliz abeth had reddish hair, blue eyes p.nd pink-streak cheeks. Louise at- --- n had dark hair, brown eyes, a swarthy complexion. After' un successful attempts to get the Pittmans to “swap babies,” the» Gar ners last February swore out a writ of habeas corpus' for Louise Made line. Before the case ever came to trial. Mary Elizabeth died. Grief-stricken, I the Garners forbore to press mat- j ters. They did not know, they say, j that their 'suit was withdrawn. But, 1 after waiting for time to heel their hearts, and waiting again for an other child to be born to Mrs. Pitt mp.n they swore out another writ. It is this writ which is being heard before Judge Bell. Court Room Seen* The scene in the courtroom is in teresting. The benches are packed with spectators, many of them rela tives of the Garners or the Pitt mans, many of them witnesses Su perintendent Steve R. Johnston, of Grady hospital, is there; the head nurse, other nurses, the negro girl Lilly Wright, w*ho was an attend ant in the maternity ward when the baby was born. Here, too. are oth er mothers, one of whom claims her baby was also “mixed." They hold infants in their arms; now and again a child bawls vigorously. On his h.gh rostrum sits the judge. To his right is the witness chair. The jury box is empty. The. court reporter scribbles away at a little table. And there, at a long mahogany table inside the rail, are the principals of the little drama— the Pittmans, the Garners and their lawyers. At one end of the table sits Mr. Garner, a street car conductor, a tall | slim young fellow with blue eyes and I a mop of black hair. Billy Arnaud, I his lawyer, is beside him when he 1 isn’t walking up and down. The ta ble is littered with photographs, thumb-prints, documents of various kinds. j Mrs. Pittman sits beside her hus-1 band. She Is a rather pretty wom an, with dark hair, olive complexion and vivid brown eyes. She is dressed in brown, with a brown picture hat. Occasionally she smiles. But most ly she folds her arms and kdeps her gaze fixed intently on the witness. Less than ten feet away from her sits Mr. Pittman, a meat cutter. He is a small chap, neatly dressed Un der heavy black brows, his eyes, apparently blue, keep straight to the front. He seldom looks at the Gar ,ln hls arms is cuddled Louise Madeline. Perhaps she is asleep, perhaps she is cooing over his shoul ders at some of the spectators, in any event, her cherry ribbon in her white cap blazes brightlv. Mrs. Pittman, also dark haired and dark eyed, but with ruddier complexion than Mrs. Garner, sits about the same distance on the left of her husband that Mrs. Garner Is on the right. James W. Austin, the 1 ittmans lawyer, is between them. nnA«.+ t i OO ’i 1S feet frequently, questioning the witness, presenting a chart of the maternity ward, look ing over the witness’ shouldedr at Photographs of the mothers and the children. Twisting impatiently in three big chairs in front of the table, facing the judge, are the little Garner girls Kdna May, nine years old; Virginia nM en TL ars old ' and Ceci1 ’ five years Th J“ y re all dark en Lirri fl oli ye-skinned, each dressed in stiffly starched little dresses on Ch t WIt K ,^ ray little bow ribbon oSo- her bobb ed tresses.

They have L/ f "?i say to each other,‘but it Is noticeable that the attitude of one side toward the other has been most and considerate through out the controversy. , In such a situation, one might imagine there would be black looks haps y words ' a bit of hair-pulling per- But, when the Garners mention the Pittmans or the Pittmans mention the Garners, there is no anger, no sneers, no reproaches: each mother is con fident she is right, but, whichever mother wins, one feels she would be sorry for the other mother even in her joy o * victory. When court reconvenes, Louise Madeline decides she will take a walk. Sho clambers down from Mr. P'ttman’s arms and begins to cir culate. Sne toddles up to the clerk and gives him the once over. The clerk stops his rapid shorthand long enough to smile at her. The judge beams down from his exalted posi tion. The spectators crane their necks and grin. Louise Madeline, thumb in mouth, blinks at the clerk without disturbing one of her dim- ples. Her brown eyes seem inex pressibly W’ise; she appears far more judicial than the judge; there is some thing/ tremendously serious and old about a baby, anyway. Louise Made line is like a sybyl—a brown-eyed little sybyl ! n a white coat, a white cap and a cherry ribbon. Finally she appears to have de cided whether the clerk should be hanged or knighted. But, reserving her opinion she toddles about and makes for a green light burning brightly over his desk. She blinks at the light soberly. One can imag ine her saying, ‘‘Well, that’s a fairly decent light, but I have seen better in my day. It’ll do, though; it’ll do!” She is suddenly aware of many people. Sbe stops in her tracks, plucks at the bottom of her skirt, and —horrors!—lifts the garment clean over her head. Then, just to show she is nothing, if not uncon ventional. she does it again, deliber ab.ly, brazenly. One prays that she will not slummy. At last, as though satisfied she has knocked ’em r’ead. Louise Made line retires to a chair. It is a giant, leather-upholstered piece of furniture, fitting her about as well as a number eighteen collar on a high school boy. But p he appropriates it masterfully, kicks her heels over the edge, stares around her, Minks at the judge. “I’m ready ’’ Louise Madeline seems to suv “Proceed.” The judge leans forward respect- U ‘‘Call the next witness, Mister Ar- The declaration of another mother that her baby was also ‘‘mixed at the Grady hospital, testimony by ex nerts in physiognomy, an 4 the intro duction of finger prints of the Garner family featured the hearing Iriday morning before Judge George L. Bell on the writ of habeas corpus sued out by Mr. and Mrs. John C. Garner for the possession of little Lpuise Madeline now in the custody of_Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Pittman. Both sets of parents claim the child as their own. Mrs. Lawrence Collins, of 21 es teen street, one of the witnesses Fri day morning, testified that she was given the wrong baby while shei was a patient in the maternity ward at the Grady hospital. The error, she said, was later corrected. D. Ernest Randall, a newspaper artist, who qualified as an expert m facial features, testified to string resemblances between the Garner family and Louise Mad^ 1 ’ ne ' p , X n t d resemblances betwen Pittman and Mary Elizabeth, the little baby Hirschberg, an Atlanta photographer, testified to the same resemblances. Both t hes ® had large photographs of the two babies, the two mothers and the lit tie Garner children before them. WOMAN HOPES JUDGE NfaLL DECIDE CORRECTLY The Journal has received the fol lowing letter from a woman who sign her name, but asks that it be withheld. The letter speaks for it self: . “Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 9, 1920. “Editor of The Atlanta Journal: “I have been deeply interested in the ‘mixed baby’ case from the very beginning. I therefore, beg every Christian mother, as well as those Christian women who are not moth ers to pray earnestly that God will guide the judge in the decision on this case “ ‘ More things are wrought by prayer than this wdrld dreams of. and this is the day of prayer. I do most earnestly hope and pray that the child’s own mother may be giv en the child bv the decision of the court. “Very truly yours, “A childless woman who loves all children and all mothers.” OTHER “MIXED BABY’’ CASES TO BE ALLEGED When Judge George Bell resumes his hearing Monday morning In the habeas corpus proceedings involv ing the identity of Baby Louise Madeline, claimed as a daughter by both Mrs. John C. Garner and Mrs. Daniel L. Pittman, testimony will be introduced, it is understood, in tended to prove that the mixing of babies at Grady hospital occurred on several occasions. It was said Saturday afternoon that Mrs. W. C. Hoffman, of 6 Bon nie Brae avenue, had been examined by Attorney James W. Austin, coun sel for Mr. and Mrs. Pittman, and that she admits .having witnessed an accidental exchange of babies at Grady hospital, the mistake bring rectified by reason of the fact that one of the babies was a boy and the other a girl. Mrs. Hoffman is ill at her home. Judge Bell, declaring that he desir ed every item of evidence brought before the court, gave permission for .her affidavit to be presented as material evidence. In her statement, which was tran scribed at her bedside by a stenogra pher, she deposes that while sick in the influenza ward at Grady hospi tai, she became acquainted with two mothers, a Mrs. Dudley and Mrs. Gantt, who, after the birth of their infants, were brought to the influenza ward. She says that on one occa sion the babies were brought in to the two mothers, and after some minutes one of them, Mrs. Dudley, discovered that she was not in pos session of her own child. Nurses stripped both the infants, and ac cording to the statement which it is understood Mrs. Hoffman has made, no identification whatever, in the form of tags or otherwise, was attached to them. Due to the dif ference in sex, it is said, the children were identified, however, and given to their mothers. Governor Kilby Asked To Withdraw Troops! BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 11.— Resolutions requesting Governor Thomas E. Kilby to withdraw the Alabama national guardsmen from the mineral district of the state, where they have been on strike duty in connection with the walkout of bituminous coal miners were adopted at a mass meeting held at Capitol park Sunday afternoon under the au spices of, the Birmingham Trades Council. The resolutions suggest that the governor, in lieu of maintaining troops in the strike field, order sher iffs of the counties affected to en force the laws and to appoint reputa ble citizens to aid in preserving law and order. The Alabama coal operators were denounced in the same resolution as having brought about a condition "through the employment of gun men” that placed the lives of miners and their families in jeopardy. OCTOBER 12, 1920. RELIEF FOR FARMER BY COTTON EXPORTS URGED AT MEETING (Continued from Page 1.) | 100 pounds. Thousands of tenant farmers and farm hands are leaving the farms and flocking to the cities because they believe they can make more money working for wages. “No More 10-Cent Cotton” “The day of 10-cent cotton is gone, never to return, and the sooner the world realizes the fact that cotton heretofore produced by pauper labor is not going to be produced on that basis again, the better off everybody will be. “I am not howling calamity. I am not talking pessimism. I am not down-hearted. I know we have in the south a natural monopoly on the richest farm product in the world, and I know it ought to make us, and will make us if we handle it right, the most prosperous agricultural community on earth. But you busi ness men know as well as I that if cotton goes to 20 ce.nts or lower this time, and the farmers unload on that market, there will be precious little business to start us going next year. “I am not advocating 50-cent cot ton, nor $1 cotton, nor .any other par ticular price. I am advocating a price that will pay the producers a decent living wage. If they do not get it, they will quit producing cot ton. I am not advocating the refusal by farmers to pay debts. It is wrong for a farmer to make his mer chant suffer, or his banker suffer. We are going to have to stand a part of the loss on account of the general tendency of deflation. Neither do I sanction the posting of notices on gin houses that they will be burned un less they shut down. I want the word to go out to the world that the south will not tolerate such Bolshevism. It would be a good thing if they could catch a few of these notice-posters and hang them as high as Haman.” These comments on the gin-burn ing propaganda were received with the heartiest applause. They were an echo of similar sentiments ex pressed by Governor Manning, who had said he could find no words strong enough to express his disap proval of such a propaganda. He said it would do the south incalcu lable injury unless immediately stopped. B. X*. McLeod Speaks B. F. McLeod, a prominent whole sale shoe merchant of Charleston, a leader in the organization of’the United States chamber of commerce and chairman of the finance com mittee of the American Cotton asso ciation, was the next speaker. He presented the sustaining membership plan of the association, whereby it is hoped to raise the money to get the organization going at full effi ciency and keep it going for three years, during which time a perma nent membership will be enrolled to make it permanent. "We are handling,” said Mr. Mc- Leod, “what is potentially the great est business proposition in the world today. We propose to en gage the services, as business man ager, of a man of national reputa tion. We propose to engage also the services of a very high class publicity secretary. We propose to put men in the field to carry on the organization. That was the plan fol lowed by the United States chamber of commerce, and today it is one of the most far-reaching and influen tial organizations in the world.” Following the address of Mr. Mc- Leod, the meeting indorsed the pro posed cotton export corporation and also the alms and objects of the American Cotton association, and the following committee was ap pointed by Colonel W. L. Peel, who presided over the conference, to co operate: Robert F. Maddox, W. J. Blalock, James J. Ragan, John K. Ottley, H. Warner Martin and Chessley B. Howard. All of these gentlemen, together with ether representative Atlanta A New Log Saw Cuts raster, Costs Less, Makes More Money for Users and Works While You Best A new improved power log saw, now being offered, outdoes all other log saws in cutting wood quickly and at little cost. A new 4-cycle, high pow er moter equipped with Oscillating Magneto—no batteries to fail you— makes the saw bite through logs faster than other log saws. It fin ishes its cut and is ready for another before the ordinary saw is well start ed. This log saw—the Ottawa—has a specially designed friction clutch, controlled by a lever, which starts and stops the saw without stopping the engine. Others have imitated, but no other power log saw has this improvement just like the Ottawa. The Ottawa Log Saw sells for less money than any power saw of any thing like its size. St rid A a One-Man ! Ou<fif J latent Applied For The Improved Model, 4-H, P. Ottawa Log Saw. One man wheels this outfit from cut to cut and log to log like a bar row. Separate attachments cut down yees and cut up branches. Extra power lets the engine do heavy work of all kinds. Owners of the Ottawa Log Saw laugh at coal shortages and are making big money with ease, the machine doing the work. Thirty-five to 50 cords cut any day, rainy or dry, by one man, are normal figures. And wood is approaching S2O a cord! The Ottawa is compact, simple and dur able. It sells for cash or easy pay ments and is guaranteed. If you have wood to cut the Ottawa Log Saw will be the most satisfactory machine you’ve ever owned. We sug gest that you write the Ottawa Mfg.
